And, to build on my opening point from another man's perspective...

 

I just don't

Believe it's fair

To judge a man

By the length of his hair!

 

Ya' feel me?!?! :eek:;)

 

Peace.

Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

:idea: To further my point, I'd like to offer into evidence the following verbiage:

 

The way you walk

And talk

Really sets me off

To a four alarm, child!

 

Understood?

 

Peace. :cool:

BTW, there's no bass on "Flashlight." It's all keyboards. Sorry. It's funky, though.

Funny you all were talking about this song...They(George and the P-Funk) played it later that night here in Memphis at the Beale St. MusicFest. It was a funky 2+ hour show that didn't stop. Flashlight and Atomic Dog were two of the more known songs they played, and someone (not Bootsy) played bass on it. That show was funky as I'll get out. And George's granddaughter Sativa came out and rapped on a song. Awesome show.

It does doesn't it?! These last two mornings I've been listening to James Brown - Foundations of Funk on my commute and I've gome into work feeling so cool!

 

And earlier this week I had a nightmare with the trains and it took me about 2 hours to get home - normally I'd have been so angry but I had Jaco's first album with me which I hadn't listened to in months and his groove just had me grinning all the way!

 

I try to diversify but the funk always draws me back...

It's basic -- a daily FUNK infusion makes everything go mo' betta.

 

There's nothing, really nothing, like starting your day saying to yourself:

 

I'm superbad.

I'm a superbad brother.

 

Right?

 

Start the day on the good foot!

 

Peace.

Y'got t'expand your dimensions, man, cause bass is a musical range not a particular instrument.

May I frighten you?

Hold this while I go P... :D

I may have funked up the lyrics

ie: save you, save me :o , Lionel Ritchie's tune is "Say You, Say Me" and it aint funky :P

"Keep on Marchin" is from 1970 :D

George, Louis, and Quincy collaborated on a song back in the '70s, and it was funky. :thu:

 

You don't like my music

You don't have to use it

Funkin' is a thing that all of us release

You don't have to get it

All you do is let it

Then you'll know exactly how to groove

 

I say, "Get the funk out ma face!"

 

Peace. :cool:
